Customer Question

An old friend of mine...

An old friend of mine told me he was in love with me, he is married to someone else and I am happily married. I told him I did not feel the same way. He has now told his wife of our conversation and she has left him. I feel so sick about this and do not know who to turn to. Please help

Since you have told him you do not feel the same and you are happily married, the rest has nothing to do with you...if he chose to tell his wife and she left him, that is all about their relationship and their unhappiness. I would continue on with your life and not have contact with him. It sounds like he was not able to hear you when you told him you did not feel the same way, so maintaining a strong boundary is the way to go.

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.

Just let me say that this encounter has been entirely professional and most helpful. I liked that I could ask additional questions and get answered in a very short turn around.

Thank you so much for taking your time and knowledge to support my concerns. Not only did you answer my questions, you even took it a step further with replying with more pertinent information I needed to know.

He answered my question promptly and gave me accurate, detailed information. If all of your experts are half as good, you have a great thing going here.
